Perfect choice for our Black Hills vacation!
This house was outstanding! Modern comfort in a rustic setting! The central location made it easy to travel to all our destinations in the Black Hills and surrounding areas. We especially loved the short walk to Lakota lake which was scenic and peaceful. Hosts were terrific! We will definitely stay here again on our next trip to the Black Hills!

WOW!!! AMAZING!!!
One of the best properties we have stayed at for vacation. The owners, Steve and Karen, really put their all into making this a fabulous property. No stone was left unturned. It was a very cool location and very peaceful. Took the in-laws with us because they have never been to South Dakota. They couldn’t say enough about how they loved the house.
